The Poor Will Always Be With Us

"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:17-18

It's time to make a shout!

Have you ever thought about just shouting right out loud? I mean you know like from the depths of your soul just giving it all you got! Just do it, right now, just stand up and shout the name of JESUS! Afraid? Don't want to be embarrassed because you are making too much noise? I know, you don't want your family to think you have lost your mind.

Everyone has been to a football game or some sort of activity that you were able to just let it all out. And the real beauty of an experience like this was that you had people all around you doing the same thing so your particular shout was not noticed. But do you remember how you felt when you finished? It was almost like a cleansing, your whole body was lifted, you felt great, and it may have even exhausted you to put forth all of your energy into your shout.

Let me tell you about worship. Worship in Africa. Where I live in Mozambique, people live to shout. On any given day you can hear the shouts of joy and worship to the King for another day of life. Sometimes you can hear the shouts of pain from their sorrow, but my friends, they know how to shout, how to let it all out. Embarrassed? Nope. They just do not have anything to lose. They already have nothing. You really do not have anything to lose either! I mean come on, like what?

Think about what a shout can do, a shout brought down a wall,"Shout! For the Lord has given you this city." Psalm 20:5 May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. Psalm 71:23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered. 98:4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music. Isa. 40:9b lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid;

A shout is a strong emotion or a call for attention. Are you shouting today? What are you shouting about? A shout of emotion for what God has, is and will do in your life would be good for you!

Do you wanna start? JESUS!....... IS LORD! HE HAS GIVEN ME FREEDOM! I AM FREE! I AM FREE FROM MYSELF! HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME! HE HAS DELIVERED ME! HE CAME TO SAVE A BROKEN AND DESPERATE WORLD! HE WILL REGEIN FOREVER AND I WILL BE WITH HIM! HALLELUJAH!

Ok... already I am feeling better. Don't delay... do it today.... you will never be the same when you totally give it all to God.
